re1ndeer I also use 2 insulin pens and after 28 days I throw them out but if I had to use them I would at least till the pen dont have enogh to dispende 55 units of Latus and the 5 units of humalog. If you do use it dont worry it wont harm you.

Hi ivonalvarez,I'm on 5 injections.aday 3 nova log 1 lantus and 1 victoza .it depends on how much is left in ea pen and how low i am on my meds.but i do reuse the pen needles at least twice but a different one for ea med.

I do not, but you can search for discussions by clicking on the discussions link on the left, then enter a search term (in this case "Insulin pumps" ) and you should get several pages of discussions for and by "pumpers".

Yes! My Lantus pen cartridge has at least 12 to 15 units left in it when it won't let me dial up any more units. What I've been doing is using an insulin syringe (left over from before I used the pens) and draw out as much of the remaining insulin in the cartridge before I throw away the cartridge. Then I inject with the syringe. Then I throw away the syringe. Sometimes I have enough for my entire Lantus dose. If I don't, I then use a new Lantus cartidge/pen, use a new needle and give myself the balance of the dose…yeah, it may be two shots vs one, but I feel I'm not wasting my insulin. Over the course of a year, by doing this, I figure I'm gaining at least one whole cartridge/pen. I guess my Yankee roots are showing…there's an old Yankee motto: Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do or do without…unfortunately, we can't do without the insulin, so I'm maxing my supply.

Right now I use a humapen luxura for humalog and a solostar for lantus. In the past I've used the flexpen for novolog and the humalog pen abandons kwikpen for humalog. the only time I have to prime multiple times is with the luxura when I switch cartridges.
